EU Code of Conduct ensures countering illegal hate speech online

On Monday (04/02/2019), the 4th evaluation on the EU Code of Conduct has been released. It shows that this Commission initiative delivers successful results. IT companies are now assessing 89% of flagged content within 24 hours and 72% of the content deemed to be illegal hate speech is removed, compared to 40% and 28% respectively when the Code was first launched in 2016. However, companies need to improve their feedback to users.
